Chris Mills Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 15 games in and Leicester sit pretty at the top of the Premier League, 2 points clear of second place and 6 clear of 5th. Defeating a Swansea side who are looking for another mid table finish away from home 3-0 today along side a long streak of impressive wins this season. Are they the real deal? I hope so! Nice to have a different team up there for once and it gives some hope that you can support what will one day become a successful club in the top flight without the need of a half a billion pound investment.

Day Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 For football I would love them to do it, even finishing 2nd or 3rd and in the Champions League. Are they serious contenders? You can't really say no with both Manchester clubs so inconsistent and Chelsea miles off. January will be huge for them, need to get through it and keep hold of Vardy. Makes me laugh when you see people on here scared to go up, I'm not saying we would do a Leicester but strange things can happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It's funny. I'd say that they aren't, but only because they are Leicester. If it were Chelsea or City playing this well and picking up so many points you'd have to say they were title contenders, if not the favourites. But there is a reason for this. They don't have the experience or depth of quality to keep this up until May. They've shown everyone that they're not to be messed with. Surely the fans are eying up Europe next season and deservedly so. Good luck to 'em. Just don't tell my fox uncles I said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Logic says that they will fall away soon..... but the longer they can keep it going the better...and who knows...it is surprising how little amount of injuries that teams that are doing well have. I really hope they do keep it up, it would be awesome if they could even get in the Champions league, i have to say i have adopted them as my team in that league now. As Mr Daveo said they are showing people why they have nothing to fear in promotion, but the win today was the most predictable of the weekend, Monk will be gone by Monday.

Rampage Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ranieri is the real thing. Leicester, if they avoid key injuries could finish in the top four which would be remarkable, by any standards.They give hope to a lot of other clubs and to us in particular. Hats off to Leicester. They are showing what can be done without £300 million 'worth' of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It's good to see. And it could be one of the closest title races ever. Liverpool to me are looking really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I hope they keep their form and get one or two new signings in January that will strenghten the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posh Ram Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Nah. Not quite. That being said, there aren't any really good teams this year. I think Liverpool will win it, Klopp's a brilliant manager and I can't see anyone cracking gegenpressing. Man U, Man City, Arsenal, Leicester, Spurs will probably be the rest of the top 6. Even though they're our "rivals" obviously I hope they do it. Gives us hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 No. Leicester are doing remarkably well and huge credit must go to Ranieri. They remind me of Southampton under Koeman the previous year. I don't expect them to go the distance. But they have given themselves the foundations for a memorable campaign. Qualifying for a European competition should be a very realistic target from this point on. Right now, they are winning games and picking off teams with the style, belief and confidence of a title contender. But how will they be affected when results start to go against them? It's a long season and one which is still taking shape and titles aren't won after 15 games. The usual suspects can still go up a few gears. But I daresay this is Leicester playing to their absolute maximum. Once the teams in and around them find the quality and consistency expected of them, they will be toppled. But for a campaign where a top ten finish was probably considered fanciful, it's a wonderful height to fall from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 4 games to go until halfway point. Leicester got to play Chelsea, Everton, Lpool and City. Still can't quite think of Chelsea as a easy game, but the other 3 are tough. If they can come out of those matches still about top then you have got to say they are a contenders.
